This is a movement in the making

We do not need to manufacture demand, persuade or entice those who can no longer afford the burden of chronic disease. They are already seeking remedies to the painful impact on their life circumstances. They just need to encounter the stories told by others to see how the impossible can become probable through their endeavours.

 

When people give up, they don’t exercise their choices


But

When they see the possibility they make small choices and they imagine workarounds.

Not to solve the problems but to alleviate the pain impact within their personal circumstances.

 

It’s this knock-on effect that impacts the health outcome

The ‘So What’ outcome is a change in sentiment from feeling lost, trapped & hopeless…where the benefit is a self-determined pathway and the value impact is a sense of being in charge and knowing that I DID IT.

 
 

Organisations cannot change anything. Only people can.

 
 

In times of trouble and despair populations appeal to authorities to fix the problem and pay.

However, authorities cannot fix the root cause problem of non-affordability.

People can. As the sentiment changes from ‘I can’t afford it‘ to ‘How can I get what I need that is within my grasp’ they get connected and imagine workarounds to get what they thought was unattainable.

By scaling what we know worked we can orchestrate a critical mass of people to become willing and able to take self-responsibility.

 
 

Now it’s your turn

What would the ‘So What’ look like to you, your group, your syndicate, your community, your health system - in terms of its pain impact reduction AND value impact?

Would that be worth your investment?

Our programs follow 4 years of grounded research, including a one year teaching, monitoring and research program, sponsored by QLD Australia Health Department’s Metro South, on behalf of the Minister for Health, the Hon. Dr. Steven Miles. During that time we have witnessed unprecedented improvements in personal health journeys for those following the program. The implications from the research were profound. When you don’t give people solutions, they find solutions themselves. As a consequence of sense-making, the journey became one of personal capability and power, and we saw how the ramifications reverberated throughout their lives.

As with all the Health Commons activities the rights, control and ownership of the data and analytics that an individual generates will be recognized to enable each person to benefit from the digital intellectual assets they generate.  With the informed consent of each person, the collective headline knowledge of what works equation will become a commons owned by and for the people, and held on an immutable non-corruptible ledger. This is expressed as a rating for those resources (treatment, support, service or program) that were of most value and most popular which can be freely viewed by anyone free of charge forever.
